Good morning Keeliai, how are we all today?
[Steph is sitting at her console, leaning back in her chair with her legs propped up on the desk. She's smiling, and for those that know her, it's the sort of smile that should be extremely concerning. Those that don't know her may also be feeling like they're about to hear something they don't want to.
She is going to be a terrible person today.]
I'm going to preface this message by saying that anyone under the age of 16, or whatever the age of legality is where you're from, should tune out now, please and thank you. I'm not gonna be explicit or anything, but it's probably not going to be appropriate for kids. [she gives a pointed look, yes you, Damian, switch off the computer now.]
I was taking an anthropology class back home, and my professor happens to be here too. [she wrinkles her nose, like yes, I know that's super weird, how do you think I feel?] And he's been giving me assignments and stuff, because apparently being kidnapped by a giant turtle isn't a valid excuse not to keep up with coursework. The topic we'd been studying before I got brought here was human sexuality, and Professor Craig suggested I write a paper on kedan sexuality instead. [Hi Bruce.] Except, uh, after the last couple weeks, I'm not really keen on that idea.
But I have been thinking about all these people with superpowers running around, and like - we've got comics back home, right? But they tend to focus on the whole defeating supervillains and stopping alien invasions side of things, which is great, sure, I love a good action story, but there's something that just never really comes up.
[she looks directly at the camera, the very picture of scientific curiosity] Do they - or, do you, for the superpowered people in the audience - ever use their powers for sex? This isn't a rhetorical question, by the way, if you have used your powers in the bedroom, feel free to share with the class.
And in the interest of not excluding anyone from the conversation, anyone who's just a regular old human, or whathaveyou, you can discuss what sort of powers you'd like to have, and how you'd use them to impress the gender-of-your-preference.
Don't feel like you have to respond directly to me, you're more than welcome to talk amongst yourselves. I figured we could use a little lighthearted chat to take our minds off the situation. Don't you agree?
[She winks, clearly trying not to laugh, and sits back in her chair to wait for responses]

[Yeeeah Favrielle has her doubts about those not native to Terre d'Ange and how they'd handle a live demonstration for the purposes of teaching.]
video;
Probably best to stick with diagrams or something.
video;
[She trails off, trying to think of how to explain.]
Servants of Naamah are trained in such things, but it is considered a sacred art. It's meant to evoke the senses, but it is not meant to be a side show or treated with anything but the utmost respect.
So, without a display of that sort of maturity, yes texts and instruction would have to suffice.
video;
It's a shame, but I can understand why you'd rather not. [She'd like to be able to watch one of those showings] You know what, if you ever do get a class up and running, I might attend.
[She figures she could probably learn a thing or two. It's - been a while, to say the least]
video;
[Fond is understating things a great deal. As time passes, Favrielle feels her homesickness grow in leaps and bounds. At least working as she did back home does something for her, makes it easier to cope.]
But yes, it will all depend on who wishes to learn. [Which means if Steph really wants to see a showing and can prove she'll approach the matter maturely, Favrielle might see it done.] If there's interest in actual lessons, then perhaps I'll see what I can arrange.
video;
Steph has mixed feelings about Gotham, but for all that she hates it sometimes, the city might as well be sunk into her bones. She misses it.]
I wonder how the kedan would react. [there's a bit of a laugh in her voice, but her expression grows serious after a moment] Actually, it'd probably be an idea to check if there are any rules about teaching this sort of thing.
[just in case. the kedan have some strange laws]
video;
They have several brothels situated in the Fire sector. I imagine that classes are not likely to offend many.
[Small shrug.]
A small group might be best for a trial, regardless. I have a great deal of other work I've taken on recently.
video;
Small is usually the best way to start, especially if you're already busy.
video;
[Favrielle lifts a shoulder in half a shrug.]
In any case, the answer stands open to you or anyone else viewing this conversation.

[With a nod in parting, she disconnects.]
